Lemonade Stand Name: The Lemon Kid
Lemonade Day Story:
Hi! My name is Elias and I am 7 years old. This was my first Lemonade Day, and I started a lemonade business called The Lemon Kid.
I wanted to do Lemonade Day because I thought it would be fun to learn how a business works and earn my own money. I also wanted to meet people in my community and make them smile with a cold drink.
My stand was set up outside Brio Boutique in Cochrane during their Sweet 16 celebration. My slogan was “Fresh Squeezed Happiness.” I sold three flavours: classic lemonade, strawberry lemonade, and lavender lemonade. My family helped me build a lemonade stand, make signs, and get everything ready.
One challenge was making sure we had enough supplies and getting everything prepared before the big day. I learned that running a business takes planning and hard work.
My favourite part was serving customers and seeing people enjoy my lemonade. I learned how to talk to customers, handle money, and work hard to reach a goal.
I sold $220 worth of lemonade before expenses, which made me feel really proud. I plan to save some of my profits, spend some on something fun, and share some by helping others.
Now that I have been an entrepreneur, I want to keep learning about business and make The Lemon Kid even bigger and better next year!
